Painting by David Patterson
these first steps are the
these first steps are the
coldest. nowhere in the
installation manual did
they mention that it would
ever get as cold as
this, when just looking
at what lies ahead feels
more melancholy, is more
sorrow-laden than
looking back. when your
eyes can no longer
separate the rapidly
accumulating sorrow
with your next step,
it is time to call off
the recovery

the david patterson? it's harder to read these backwards in time, as you are doing.
It is quite a challenge looking at the poems in reverse sequence, and yet still fascinating. The painting by David Patterson, for me, illustrates the mantling, the matte and muting vibrations for the heart; for the emotions.
